Indiana Pacers guard Johnny Furphy (foot) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As expected, Furphy will suit up after being listed as probable due to a foot issue. He finished with five points, three rebounds, and two steals in 23 minutes of action during Saturday's win over the Golden State Warriors. Furphy figures to play a similar role during Monday's contest. He won't be an appealing streaming option for Monday's slate.

Indiana Pacers guard RayJ Dennis (back) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As expected, Dennis is ready to go after being listed as questionable due to a lower back sprain. He figures to play a bigger role than normal with Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) on the bench. Through six games, Dennis is averaging 9.2 points, 4.6 assists, and 2.8 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per game. Dennis could offer some low-end streaming value for Monday's slate.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Antetokounmpo was held out of Thursday's contest due to a lingering knee issue. Despite that, he is feeling good enough to suit up for the first leg of the back-to-back set on Monday. He's coming off a 26-point, 11 rebounds, and eight assist performance during his last time out. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Antetokounmpo active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (shoulder) will miss at least the next two weeks. The 22-year-old appeared in only two games this season before suffering a left shoulder subluxation during the October 25 matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. As a result, he's missed the Hornets' last five contests. Miller will be re-evaluated in two weeks. However, until he can return, rookie Kon Knueppel, averaging 14.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 42.2% shooting from deep in six starts this season, should remain even more relevant for all fantasy setups. The Hornets play the Pelicans, Heat, Lakers, Bucks (twice), Thunder, and Raptors in the next two weeks, so fantasy managers will be without Miller for at least seven more games.

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (groin) has been upgraded to questionable for a bout with his former team, the Los Angeles Clippers, on Monday, per the team's injury report. Powell has missed Miami's last three games with a groin issue. Should he suit up, a strong scoring effort from Powell seems likely. The 32-year-old is averaging a career-best 24 points per game, along with three assists, two steals, and 7.3 rebounds. The Heat are playing at one of the quickest paces in the NBA, averaging 124.5 points per game. That's good for third in the league. Fantasy managers should check back on Powell's status closer to the 10:30 Eastern time tip.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (right groin soreness) won't be in uniform tonight when the team faces the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers, on the second night of a back-to-back, will also be without guard Luka Doncic (lower leg injury management). Center Deandre Ayton (back spasms) is questionable, while LeBron James (sciatica) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) remain out. It's a lengthy injury list for the Lakers, who appear content with taking a loss to the Trail Blazers. Marcus Smart should handle most of the ball-handling responsibilities. Bronny James and Nick Smith Jr. could also be involved. The bulk of the scoring responsibility will land on the shoulders of Jake LaRavia and Rui Hachimura. Reaves is averaging a career-best 31.1 points and 9.3 assists per game on the young season.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (lower left leg contusion injury management) will be sidelined tonight when the team faces the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers will also be without guard Austin Reaves (right groin soreness). Forward LeBron James (sciatica) and guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) remain out, while center Deandre Ayton (back spasms) is questionable. Los Angeles appears to be punting the second half of a back-to-back. Marcus Smart should handle most of the ball-handling responsibilities, while Bronny James, and possibly Nick Smith Jr., could be involved. Jake LaRavia and Rui Hachimura will be tasked with picking up the scoring slack.

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (ankle) is listed as questionable heading into Monday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. If Hart is unable to play, Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson could see an increased workload. The Knicks will be without Mitchell Robinson (rest) at the end of the back-to-back. Hart chipped in 14 points and nine rebounds yesterday, an improvement over his five points and 6.6 rebound average this season. With the Wizards rested, look for a big night from Kyshawn George and CJ McCollum against a depleted Knicks roster.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (rest) will miss Monday's matchup, the second leg of a back-to-back, despite just 13 minutes on Sunday. Robinson has appeared in just two games this season as he works himself back into shape following a left ankle injury he struggled with through the preseason. When healthy, the big man's excellent rebounding and shot-blocking potential make him a starting option at a shallow center position. Robinson can be dropped at this stage of the season despite his potential. His inability to stay healthy, appearing in just 48 games over the past two seasons, leaves him expendable if you don't have an injured reserve spot to stash him.

Sacramento Kings point guard Dennis Schroder (hip) will be available for Monday night's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Schroder was listed as questionable leading up to the matchup. The 32-year-old is coming off his best performance of the season in Saturday's 135-133 win over the Bucks. Schroder managed 24 points, seven assists, five rebounds, and two steals in the contest. Malik Monk (personal) is currently away from the team, which points to an uptick in Schroder's usage. The guard should start in all formats heading into Monday's game.

Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine (back) is expected to play in Monday night's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. LaVine has been hampered by lower back soreness, but has yet to miss time this season. The 30-year-old guard has been incredible to start the season, averaging 29.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists through the first six games. With Malik Monk sidelined, the veteran has shouldered the majority of the scoring load for the Kings, but faces a stiff test against a Nuggets defense that is allowing just 111.8 points per game, fourth in the league. The Nuggets will likely focus their defense on LaVine to slow him down, as a one-on-one matchup against Christian Braun could set up a big day.

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) was assigned to the G-League's Memphis Hustle on Monday. Edey's stay with the Grizzlies affiliate should be brief, as the second-year big man recovers from offseason ankle surgery. Edey placed fifth in Rookie of the Year voting last year, after averaging 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 66 games. An early-November return for Edey would mark a significant shift in the team's lineup as Jaren Jackson Jr. shifts to power forward, and Jock Landale likely returns to a reserve role. Edey should be stashee immediately ahead of his return to the lineup.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Keaton Wallace (illness) participated in Monday's practice after missing Sunday's matchup with the Cavaliers. Wallace is averaging just 11.2 minutes per game while operating as a depth piece behind Trae Young. Wallace is shooting 62.5% from three this season, and should be viewed as a depth piece that can shoot from distance while chipping in assists if his minutes tick up. Continue to monitor injury reports if you're in need of point guard depth ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Monday after officially being ruled out due to a left shoulder strain. The fourth-year combo guard hasn't been able to play since the season opener, while the Pacers suffer injury after injury. Their guard depth is down to the bottom of their barrel, so both fantasy managers in deep leagues and DFS managers can find some value here and there for streaming purposes. Quenton Jackson had a big double-double in their last game on Saturday, while Jarace Walker has also played very well in extended minutes. RayJ Dennis (questionable - back) has received some more time, while Johnny Furphy also got 23 minutes. Jackson and Walker are the top two for streaming priority, but Dennis and Furphy could provide some guard stats in a pinch, too.

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) has been ruled out on Monday and still won't make his season debut after a hamstring injury during preseason. The veteran point guard isn't being rushed back as the team goes through a rough injury bug to start out the year. While McConnell, Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles), Bennedict Mathurin (toe), and Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) are all sidelined, Johnny Furphy, RayJ Dennis, Quenton Jackson, and Ben Sheppard have been getting the backcourt minutes. Dennis is currently listed as questionable, while Jackson started in their last game and put up 25 points, 10 assists, six rebounds, and three steals. Jackson has looked like the best streaming option while Jarace Walker also stuffs the stat sheet with extra minutes.

Indiana Pacers guard Johnny Furphy (foot) is likely to play in Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks after drawing a probable tag on the injury report. The second-year guard is in line for plenty of minutes since the team is getting hit hard by the injury bug. Furphy played in their 23 minutes in the Pacers' first win on Saturday and registered five points, three rebounds, and two steals while shooting 2-for-4 from the floor and 1-for-2 from deep. Furphy would only be an option in very deep leagues and some DFS lineups, but the Pacers will probably have a ton of different lineups while they go through a gap year without Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles).

Charlotte Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun will be heading down to the G League to play with the Greensboro Swarm. Hornets beat writer Rod Boone reports that the team is making the decision ahead of their mini road trip, so he likely won't play in the next two games. Salaun was the sixth-overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and hasn't really seen much playing time so far this season. He shot very poorly from the floor in his rookie year (.330), and has marginally improved through seven games this season (.368). He's only received around 11 minutes per contest this year, so his absence won't change much to the value of the rest of the bench, except for maybe some added opportunities for KJ Simpson or Pat Connaughton.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Blake Wesley will be out for the foreseeable future after the fourth-year guard was diagnosed with a fracture of his fifth metatarsal on his right foot. The team said in their statement that a timeline for his return "will be determined at a later date." Wesley was receiving the most playing time he's seen since his rookie year, leading up to this injury, and was averaging 6.0 points, 3.2 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.7 steals across 16.3 minutes per game. With Scoot Henderson (hamstring) out, Wesley was playing the backup point guard. In his absence, however, it looks like the last healthy guard standing is Rayan Rupert until Matisse Thybulle (thumb) returns. Neither provides much value, even as streaming options.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is trending in the right direction on Monday. The team announced that the superstar has been cleared for contact in practice, but he will remain out for the time being. ESPN's Shams Charania initially reported that Edwards would be out for two weeks, and he's missed one week so far, which seems to put him on schedule. In the meantime, Mike Conley has joined the starting five and has averaged 9.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game in that time. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect to find a streaming option that gives the level of production that Edwards can give, but Conley has been a decent option so far in category formats.

Los Angeles Lakers' G Luka Doncic recorded a triple-double, finishing with 29 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds in a 130-120 win over the Heat on Sunday, Nov. 2.
